This end grain cutting board is a birthday gift for our friend Lennart – he is a really serious Formula 1 fan. It is made from walnut blocks with maple inlays.
Some pictures from the making process
In this blog I show the results of my hobby – making art and other stuff with my homebuilt CNC machine. I mainly work with combinations of wood and epoxy resin, coloured by various types of pigments and metal powder. The subjects often involve items from the nature and mathematical objects such as fractals.

My second cousin Hanna is getting married to Peter tomorrow, and I made them an end grain cutting board for present. The base is made of walnut, and the inlay of maple. This is my first attempt of wooden inlay, I think it turned out pretty well. I added a slope to the inlay shapes so when they were glued under pressure it made the walnut/maple seams practically invisible. Also, all inlays shapes are cut from single blocks, so there are no visible seams in the maple either.
